Hi!
Does anyone know, if there would be any promblems
installing qmail+vpopmail using Maildir's on a RedHat 7.1 installation? I'm
hosting a few domains...
I already have it installed on an earlier version
of RedHat, but I'm planning to reinstall the server. My only concern is about
qmail...
I'm also looking for some webmail software,
that will work on the above installation. Any suggestions?

The / directory has:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 25 18:20 service/
The svscan binary is installed and executable:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 13532 Aug 15 2000 /usr/local/bin/svscan*
In inittab, I tried various combinations after 'svscan /service' and the run
level too:
SV:123456:respawn:env - PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin svscan /service
</dev/null 2>/dev/console
SV:2345:respawn:env - PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin svscan /service
</dev/null 2>/dev/console
Each time I made changes to inittab, I did run:
# kill -HUP 1
or
# init q
or
# telinit q
The run level on this system is 4.
The 'ps waux | grep svscan' will not list svscan.
The only command that seems to work is:
# csh -cf 'svscan /service &'
I would definitely prefer to start svscan from /etc/inittab rather than via
the startup scripts. I did reboot the system after making changes to inittab
and that did not start svscan.

Try:
SV:2345:respawn:env - PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin svscan /service
insert a newline at the end. Then run
init 1
init 4
and then do

This finally worked,
# init u
The "ps" command lists the svscan process.
After rebooting, I have to run "init u" manually as root user.
Now, the extension question is, how can you set init to start with the "u"
option? Or should I make it the last call in the init scripts?

Hi all!
I'm new to this list and haven't found a solutions in the archives.
Rather, I found a solution which should have worked, but didn't.
My setup is qmail 1.03, vpopmail, SuSE Linux.
I need all incoming mails for a certain user to be copied to 2 POP
accounts, i.e. all incoming mails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] should go to:
/home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/test/Maildir/
&
/home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/test1/Maildir/
The archives said that I should simply set up a .qmail file in user
"test"'s homedir ( /home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/test/)
containing the 2 lines:
/home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/test/Maildir/
/home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/test1/Maildir/
But that doesn't work: mails get routed to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
After panicking, as this is important, I set up a .qmail-test file in
/home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/, containing the 2 above lines.
And this worked. But is it The Right Thing to do?
BTW: forwarding works fine in the .qmail file, it's just the Maildir
delivery which is treated as a forard, too :-( I've tried absolute and
relative paths, but nothing :-(
Can anyone help me here?
Best regards,
Barry Hill

Aha? I assumed it was a qmail issue, because .qmail files are
evaluated by qmail itself, regardless of where they are ... But thanks
for the pointer - I'll subscribe to that, too.

That's the case for your successful try. Inside a user directory
the delivery is done by a vpopmail program.
Look at .qmail-default in a domain directory to see what is used.

I think that's right, Barry. vpopmail makes qmail treat each virtual domain
as a single user, so /home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/test is not a user
dir. qmail just sees .qmail-ext files on /home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com
directory. Take a look in .qmail-default and you'll see a call to vpopmail's
vdelivermail, witch is the program that actually routes the messages to each
"user" tha doesn't have a .qmail-user file.
I haven't found it explicitly written on any doc...
Cheers.
Wagner.
Has anyone seen a memory leak problem with qmail using any or all of the
following patches:
- Outgoing IP Patch
- 0.0.0.0 patch
- badrcptto patch
- tarpit patch
after making and installing the memory would go to almost nothing (with
minimal swapping, however) and qmail would constantly report out of memory
deferral errors with qmail-remote. I believe I downloaded these from the
qmail site (although it is possible one or another was downloaded from a
different site).

I am looking to HOWTO Mail Administrator:
----- 6.1.5. Testing qmail
Now it is configured, try:
sh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &'
to launch qmail (it won't interfere with your
localMTA), then:
echo to: mylogin | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
You should receive this mail in the format
you'vechosen in /var/qmail/boot/.
-----------------------------------------------
My question is about /var/qmail/boot"
. How could I configurate it?
. There are a lot of files in it and I don�t know what
they mean.
I had sent an email to user=pablo with qmail-inject
and I cannot find it. Where is it?
Thanks

Well, I think it's actually an add-on (a Perl script run from cron). The one
we use is called qmail_bounce (IIRC), and you should be able to find it at
qmail.org or on Google. If not, post to the list again, and I can put it up
somewhere.

You could also use qmail-notify at
http://em.ca/~bruceg/qmail-notify/
which has the advantage of being compiled C code instead of Perl, and is
rather easier to configure (don't have to edit source code). The
current development version can also include the original message as an
attachment, if anybody's interested.

Hy all,
I need to redirect all unrecognized messages for a virtual domain to a
directory where another program(maildirsmtp) will catch it and send it to
another mailserver.
To let the unrecognized messages into the specified directory, i'm using
the following .qmail-default command line:
| preline -f sed -n p > ./some_user/Maildir/new/mail-"$$"
=> "| preline -f": creates the two message header lines maildirsmtp needs
to work and feeds the standard input of the next command(sed).
=> "sed -n p > ./...": just print what it reads from the standard input to
the stout, which I'm redirecting to a file. This makes the "deliver" of the
unrecognized messages to the specified directory.
=> "mail-"$$"": is the file name that sed will attribute to the messages. I
chase $$(the runnig process PID number) in order to the arriving messages
don't overwrite each other.
I'd like to ask you: is this procedure dangerous? There is the possibility
of loosing messages, receive attacks, or something I can't imagine now?
You can ask me " Why don't you use the "| forward ..." command?"
Because it makes the $SENDER of the messages turn to the forwarded user
when resending the messages - and this doesn't fit my needs. I need the
original $SENDER of the messages preserved when sending the messages again
with the maildirsmtp.
Thank you all,
Bruno

Yes. You said $$ was the PID; that can wrap (especially if you're on a system
with 15- or 16--bit PIDs), and you get a filename collision -- and lose mail.

So why not do something like ``NEWSENDER="$SENDER" forward ...'' ?

OH, do you know the variable name wich refers to the qmail-local messages
names? If I use the same name that qmail-local uses I wouldn't have name
collisions, right?
Is it possible?

Yes. You said you're creating all files named mail-PID -- a 15-bit PID space
might wrap in an hour on a moderately busy server. If you've got mail in the
.../new/ directory that's an hour old, you could lose mail.
As for forwarding, you can set NEWSENDER to be whatever you want, and the
message will go out with that as the envelope sender.

Yes, it's possible -- but there's no environment variable holding the filename
which qmail-local would have used. Instead, you construct it yourself
according to the rules Dan set up for them. You can read about it at
http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html , in the section titled "How are unique
filenames created?" . My own POP3 mail retriever, getmail, follows these
rules for delivering to Maildirs.

As Charles mentioned there is no variable.
But you could use
./some_user/Maildir/new/"`/bin/date '+%s'`"."$$"."`/bin/hostname`"
which would mimic qmails naming system at the cost of two program calls.
Please test on the command line
$ /bin/date '+%s'
as not all date commands support the '+%s' format.

Yes. The Maildir naming convention Dan uses prevents filename collisions.
Just make sure the files are owned by the owner of the Maildir.

In practice it's often safe to copy them in. You don't risk
overwriting anything because of the unique filenames, for example.
There is the theoretical possibility of leaving partially truncated
messages in the maildir (if someone trips over the power cord in the
middle of your copying or your program crashes). Or if a POP server
accesses the mailbox while mesages are being written the user might
not see the whole message.
It's far better to restore the messages into the tmp subdirectory
(or create your own temporary directory for this) and then mv them
into whatever directory they go in (cur or new).

I�m using the qmail server under linux enviroment but my "costumers" are
using my software under the Windows platform.
My Win software was created in C language and it is a very rush program,thus
it overloads the qmail recipient pile.
So, I had been wondering about a way to retrieve how many messages are
waiting for delivery (from qmail server).
Do you have an idea to do that ?

qmail-qstat (or mailq) will give you this information, among other bits.
You just need a way to get it to whoever cares; that could be as simple as a
web page or fingerd server.

You could easily use pop3 to do it, (or IMAP if you like), just log in and
run the uidl or list command, and then read up untill the first whitespace
in the last line returned (actually the line before the last, the last line
should
be a . (dot) shouldn't it?)

We are Pentium of Borg. Division is futile. You will be approximated.
About your question below,
I had that problem too, however I fixed it opening
the original code of qmail (qmail-1.03.tar.gz)
and sharing a common folder wrote a shared temporary file
to comunicate between qmail to my program.
In add you must not use my entire solution that was
originate some share troubles.
I suggest that you use TCPIP demon under LINUX to fix your
problem. Of course that if you have time, you can figure out the entire process from
the original code (qmail-1.03.tar.gz)

You need a POP server, such as popper (included with most
Linux distributions) if you're storing your messages in
/var/spool/mail, or some other POP server if you're using mbox or
Maildir.

If NFS is involved, make sure that the system clocks between all the machines
are synchronized (with xntpd, clockspped, or equivalent). qmail-pop3d won't
see messages which are dated in the future.

What popper? qmail-pop3d only does Maildir.

thanks for the off-list advice...

(I searched the mail archives briefly but did not see any discussion
of this. My apologies if I missed it.)
This is the new RFC which supersedes RFC821 as the SMTP specification:
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2821.html
The grammar in sections 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 appears not to permit [] as
the domain portion of a mailbox in an address. In particular, the
address "#@[]", which Qmail uses as the envelope sender for
double-bounces, is not syntactically valid according to this grammar.
Feel free to double-check me on this, as I would be happy to be wrong.
Comments? Thoughts?
- Pat
P.S. Incidentally, the Lotus Domino SMTP server already rejects Qmail
double-bounce messages as syntactically invalid. Until a few days
ago, I could claim that Domino was in violation of the relevant RFC
(821). But by this new RFC, Domino is right and Qmail is wrong. And
now that RFC2821 has been released, I fear that other MTAs may start
rejecting these messages too.
I know it is a off topic.

http://my.gnus.org/ - To boldly frobnicate what no newbie has grokked before.
what it probably means is that you're building across an NFS mount, and that the
machine you're compiling on is reading a modification time for the source file
as being in the future.
biggest possible problem is make not properly determining which source files
have been altered, and not recompiling them.

Hi,
>Preferred permissions are 700.
By my last qmail-installation I've given the maildirs the right 703.
I think that is also a good setting for that.
Some time ago I've asked about the rights for the maildirs, with 703 I
think there is a good security for the maildirs.

Uh, sure, if you don't mind any fool process or user writing stuff in your
mail directories. Remember, qmail assumes the rights and permissions of
the user in question before writing to his/her mail directories, so there
is no reason to have any world or even group permissions on those
directories. 700 is highly recommended.

Well, if you have a good reason to let every user on the system write
anything they want into your maildirs, then great! I sure don't.

Hi all.
I've written "qmail-masq":
This is a perl program that works with qmail, it masquerade the internal mail
users address with an external one when sending email from local network
users to the external internet users.
you can reach it at http://www.folug.linux.it/qmail-masq.html
qmail-masq works with qmail-qfilter.
I've written it because it's a feature i need and it doesn't exist for qmail
(but for sendmail yes).
I hope that will be useful.

Hi everyone:
I can't make qmail-queue patch work: I always get "451 unable to exec qq
(#4.3.0)" when finishing DATA with a . on a line by itself (telnet to port
25). The interesting part is, whenever QMAILQUEUE environment variable is
set, no matter its value, the mail doesn't end in qmail-queue.
However, unsetting QMAILQUEUE makes mail delivery work as expected. I've
been looking at the source code, and the problem appears to be in
qmail.c:qmail_open() (just appears to be, because I've been unable to
build the Debian package binaries with debugging information).
As long as "451 unable to exec qq (#4.3.0)" is errorcode 120, the possible
point of failure is either on "if (fd_move(.." or on "execv(.."
Am I missing something ?. My setup is as follows.
Debian Woody's qmail-src package, as of release 18 (that is, original
qmail 1.03 plus netscape progress bar and big DNS patches). Apart from
that, 0.0.0.0, remote authentication, mail from authentication and
qmail-queue patches cleanly applied.
As Debian places qmail binaries under /usr/sbin, qmail-queue patch was
modified to reflect the change on the paths. My /etc/tcp.smtp includes:
192.168.1.10:allow,MFCHECK="1",QMAILQUEUE="/usr/sbin/qmail-queue"
I've tried many scripts as values for QMAILQUEUE and always get "unable to
exec qq". If QMAILQUEUE is not set, no problems.
Any help is highly appreciated. Thank you all.

Hi:
I have a Linux platform Red Hut 7.0 working on qmail, vopmail, qmailadmin
and sqlwebmail. My virtual domains work great. I have the following inquiry
as follow:
- I have an NT with an application with domain xxx.com name of with the
following IP address.xxx.xxx.xxx.38
- I created a vopmail in my virtual domain with the same name as the NT
domain name xxx.com on my Linux platform Red Hut 7.0. The Linux server has
the following IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.47
I need to :
Modify the MX in order to point from my virtual domain to the Linux IP
adress xxx.xxx.xxx.47 . Right now point to xxx.xxx.xxx.38
If an email cuenta.xxx.com arrives to the vopmail and the email or account
cuenta.xxx.com does not exist then it should qmail should solve the problem
and the qmail should send the information to the NT server. And this last
one NT, work with this count.
If an cuenta.xxx.com arrives to vopmail and exists then qmail should take
care of the email or account and workds
Is possible to do it?
Thanks a lot for your help

I already tested getmail and I commented here that it's very good,

Tim I'll save this nice qmail how-to for future reference.
For the moment I'll stay a bit more on the safest (for me)
qmail-SMTP since I lost a lot of e-mails and mailing-lists
accounts working around my configuration files.
I guess that setting the variables as you explained,
I could also avoid to stop qmail-smtpd.
Wonder if would be better if I continue this topic
writing directly to your personal address because
I think to abuse to much on this list with my small problems.

Excellent day to have a rotten day.
I've convinced management (at my current employer) to give me a
chance to replace our Netscape (and, hopefully soon, MS Exchange)
server(s) with qmail. I installed, configured, and managed a qmail
(+vpopmail+sqwebmail) server at my previous employer, after dumping
the Netscape server I had *originally* installed.
The problem is that our users are used to sending *huge* attachments
(up to 100Mb), and you know how much users hate change. They also
*love* IMAP, and keep everything forever.
My first thought was a script that either stores a message as usual,
or creates a hard link to a single copy stored somewhere else. Sort
of like Russell Nelson's (and Peter Samuel's) eliminate-dups, but
used on a domain-wide basis.
Then, I realized that inter-site traffic (we have several offices
spread across the country, most of which have their own MS Exchange
servers) would still kill me, because qmail will send multiple
copies of the *huge* attachments.
Of course, I agree with the whole single recipient philosophy. It
wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for the damned *users*!
I can't stop thinking about how I can switch over to qmail and friends,
so my latest thinking is about a script to strip attachments, replace
them with links (WTF, they're already full of HTML and MIME, too,
not to mention the friggin' winmail.dat files :-(, to files on an
FTP server.
Has anyone tried something like this? Am I insane for thinking
about it? Should I just buckle, and let MS Exchange take over?

When I did install the ucspi-tcp package I receive the following
error-message (var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpd):
"tcpserver: fatal: unable to bind: adress already use"
I did install ucspi-tcp as described (http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp.html)
There must be some problems with inetd...
How can I solve this problem?

you already have a service listening on port 25. a likely culprit is
sendmail. make sure that it's shut off, and make sure that you check
/etc/inetd.conf. if there's something in there listening on the smtp
port, comment it out, and kill -HUP inetd's pid.

remove/comment out the line in /etc/inetd.conf that starts a smtpserver.
The line should resemble something like this:
smtp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd sendmail -bs
place a # (hash) infront of that line and give inetd a HUP and then
try to restart your qmail-smtpd...

20001003 [23:27:04] <froggie_> I like the feeling of a TCP socket you get
in a DCC chat..
I'm going through all of the qmail/djbdns/etc. archives, but it is slow
going.
I've used sendmail/DNS/BIND on various unix boxes for years and am
absolutely sick of them.
I would like to use qmail and Cyrus IMAP and djbdns, etc. on a single Redhat
7.0 server that has 8 IP addresses for 8 virtual websites.
I've printed off reams of the documentation from D. J. Bernstein's website
about qmail, tcpserver, djbdns, ucspi-tcp, daemontools, etc.
My initial understanding was that qmail was a straight MTA replacement for
sendmail so that I would be able to use Cyrus Imap. The Cyrus Imap is not
supposed to require Unix accounts/homedirectories, so it scales for a larger
number of webmail clients.
In my reading of the Cyrus IMAP website, it only refers to postfix. I saw
the sendmail/postfix April fool's joke, and it was quite funny.
However, why do I not see any info about using qmail with either UW or Cyrus
IMAP? Or am I missing something obvious?

It seems to me that MailDirs still require a login account/home directory

The remote mail server at 138.220.29.7 just connects, then QUIT's
immediately, NOT delivering the mail it has for me (and yes, it does have
some). So it's not like qmail is refusing the mail, the remote just decides
to QUIT before sending it. It has been doing this every 5 minutes over the
past few days. Everything else is honky-dory. I'm totally at a loss for why
this is happening. Any possible explanations?

I'm going to contact the postmaster, but I doubt that'll give me any clue.
I guess qmail-LDAP will eliminate the need to have user accounts/home
directories for the webmail users.
I don't see any documentation in the Life with Qmail/Ldap about virtual
domains, although I do see info about virtual users.
I guess VMailMgr (with Qmail/LDAP) will allow me to set up virtual domains
on the same machine?

You don't need virtual domains on qmail-ldap (although they exist), you just
have users with one ore more mail addresses in one or more domains.

Hi all,
Some background:
-I'm trying to run qmail on my Freebsd
4.2.
-I'm using qmail from the freebsd cd package.
-I read the FAQs, bought the Qmail book from SAMS,
and prepared the qmail daemons. They are up and running exactly as depicted in
the book.
-I tried a simple test to send a local mail to
myself with the following command:
cat test | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
The mail did not get processed. I found this in the
maillog:

Can someone please tell me what to do? I'm so darn
close to getting qmail up!!!

I've got some explanation, but no solution..
qmail for local delivery into /var/mail/$user
uses part of sendmail - mail.local (for BSD systems).
As from FreeBSD version 4.2 mail.local is no more
setuid and could not be used directly by user for
local mail delivery. You have to call sendmail for it
which in turn passes message to mail.local.
I believe you use script binm1 or binm1+df for running
qmail. And maybe this part should be rewritten to do
local mail deliveries as root.

He does mention the list, but says [EMAIL PROTECTED], which
